Little Venice Services

Little Venice Services is on the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) just past the junction with The River Sunderland Navigation.
The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Facilities: chemical toilet disposal, boater-operated pump-out, rubbish disposal, toilets, water point, glass recycling and paper recycling.
